Salvia officinalis

Purple flowers are gathered in inflorescences.
The fruits are located at the base of the flowers and contain tiny dark brown and ovoid seeds.

The hall

The garden of the museum is not born by chance. It wants to give a suggestion. The walk that crosses recalls the path of a river and, on its "banks", there are some plants that existed already in Pleistocene. Almost all are still part of Mediterranean and temperate environments that characterize the Italian peninsula.
